(Feb 3, 2021) This wine's a bit weird. I like it. It feels in the mouth like it should be sweeter - but it's pretty jammy. It has a lot of stuff going on, and I don't recommend it for grading or something needing focus - it's a bit shouty. I seem to remember a different year of this wine being less shouty, but I have a blog called The Wine Snob so I am willing to admit that my memory might get a tick cloudy when it comes to wines-gone-past.
It's a good wine for listening to mixes that your brother made of music from when you were in your twenties. They get a little too house-music sometimes (I'm more on the Industrial side of the Detroit-Chicago scene) but it's good. Kinda clubby, just like this wine.
See what I did there? The wine's clubby because it's good for listening to house music, and clubby because it's got a lot going on like when you're hit in the bosh with a club.
It's NOT clubby like the villain's family from an eighties movie. Posh country club action, you see. This is not a fancy wine, but it's not trying to be.
Next day the wine was a bit more settled, and more astringent than I remember from the night before. Not bad but something I noticed. It tasted a little like dried parsley too, for some reason, but that might be the bowl of soup I had for dinner earlier.
Soup is good food and this is good wine. I got it at the grocery store. It's not for everyone. Enjoy it with music from your youth, or videos about games that won't challenge your expectations because you won't play them. The video game, not the youtube video. You're watching those right now, while you drink this wine, right? That's what this bottle's best for.
This wine is not for when you're delicate, or fragile, or have other big emotions, because it's neither soothing nor exciting. It might be good during a conversation, and do you remember those? Sitting around with friends, chatting, having a glass of wine? This is a wine for people who you don't hate, and think might be okay to have a glass of wine with. Or maybe a side-piece lover while you're having a mid-afternoon break during a lost weekend. Not someone you're conversationally intimate with, and save the good stuff for your spouse or your nemesis.
I give it a four out of B because my Brother's name is RoBert. Hey! No one's ever called him Bert! I might start doing that. Thanks, Slow Press Cab!
